Do I bother to call my TX senators? I mean really? Cruz & Cornyn there not really here for my liberal wishes.
Republican legislators should be bombarded with constant reminders that they will forever be tied to anything they let Trump do.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Glam I hear you. I'm trying to stay on furious settings too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Republican legislators should be bombarded with constant reminders that they will forever be tied to anything they let Trump do.
Absolutely, this. They should be flooded with our dissent and unable to ignore the fact that an enormous number of their constituents are angry and do not agree with them at all.
Last Sunday a friend of mine told me she was worried about my mental health, and I should step away and stop thinking about it. I tried to explain to her that now that I've gotten past the debilitating anxiety/depression (yay meds), my way of managing the world is to stay informed and take any action that I can, to feel like I have some small bit of control, to be a loud voice in my world. To hide would feel good, but I would be abdicating any power I might have, and I won't do that anymore. (Not to say anyone else shouldn't unplug and hide; I support everyone in doing what's right for themselves!)

Glam, meara - everybody that's facing a daunting Thanksgiving I'm sorry.
You know we've got your back.
Also there's the faux Target commercial on SNL: [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I started at fury and have gone into a deep funk, with an assist from grief over Xusha and SAD. I don't really have extra money to donate and I don't have the energy to volunteer right now. Fortunately, I am spending Thanksgiving with Tom and Nora, and that sounds about perfect to me.

I have acquired the last piece of furniture I want for the time being, a card table on which to do jigsaw puzzles. I haven't had room to do jigsaw puzzles in over twenty years.

Because books.
smonster is me. But I don't get her and Tom and Nora for Thanksgiving, sadly.

Thankfully Thanksgiving is chill for me--I haven't gone home for it in 20 years! Not facing it until Christmas. :)

OMG, that fake Target ad is hilarious. Love it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
When I watched the fake Target ad, I thought to myself, self, you are lucky to not have to hide from family. But...I'm so tired of being the grown up. I know I'm the parent/elder in the house and I'm lucky I don't have to cook. But I'll be on Jack duty through Sunday trying to care for him and hopefully there won't be any problems with C's daughter.
She just landed in Denver.it will be at least an hour before they get home and I just want to go to bed. I should have napped earlier but I missed my opportunity. Being awake and downstairs when a stranger comes in the house is much preferable to upstairs and asleep.at least from Jack's perspective.
